The resort’s Director of Operations, Sunny Soo, welcomed the children aged between seven and twelve who are orphans and from needy families, accompanied by their guardians, family members and teachers, to savour a sumptuous spread at the Gleneagles Terrace Restaurant. 

“Our team believes in the spirit of sharing and caring, especially during the festive season when the less privileged need more care and attention,” said Soo who is pleased that the resort is able to share the company’s success with the needy.  This annual charity event is part of the resort’s Corporate Social Responsibility Programme to give back to the community.

“Our Resort has another charity event planned for July 29 where our staff will visit the children’s ward at Hospital Sultanah Aminah to bring them some Raya goodwill during the festive season,” he added.

After the Maghrib prayers, guests at the event enjoyed a spread of more than 100 traditional, international and local delicacies specially prepared by Executive Chef Ian Lim and his culinary team. 

Soo and PSR staff were joined by the resort’s Sports & Welfare Club chairman, Azrin Razali, and some committee members to present duit raya and goodie bags filled with stationery items sponsored by Schwan-Stabilo Marketing to the children.

The families were also presented with a gift package that included a prayer mat or sejadah and provisions like rice, flour, sugar, cordial, milk, Milo, preserved dates, coffee powder, canned sardines among other useful cooking items to help ease their burden in celebrating the coming festive season.  These generous contributions are from a joint effort between the resort and their Sports and Welfare Club.
